Brauer, Warner Books, New York, 1983
This is a short ground-breaking book with a workable method to separate ejaculation from orgasm and extend love play which really makes clear how much sexual potential the average lover never activates.

The Love Keys: The Art Of Ecstatic Sex by Diana Richardson, Harper Collins - UK, 1999
This may be my favorite Tantric book of all time. It's a perfect blend of the Tantric weaving of heart, spirit, lust, ritual. and practicality. Diana is quite opinionated about many unique practices which all bear experimentation.

Sexual Solutions: A Guide For Men And The Women Who Love Them by Michael Castleman, Touchstone, New York, 1980
This is a down-to-earth, no nonsense review of male sexual problems and techniques to improve lovemaking. A little dry and devoid of spirit for me, but worthwhile for its helpful exercises.

A wonderful little book which presents the Muirs' approach to teaching Tantra, weaving Yoga, relationship, and sexual healing into erotic practice.
Taoist Secrets Of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy by Mantak Chia and Michael Winn, Aurora Press, Santa Fe, New Mexico, 1984 This is an excellent presentation of the Taoist approach to male sexuality which prescribes and is apparently successful in achieving complete seminal retention for men. It has some powerful exercises, but is too strict and preachy for Tantrikas like me.
